β-Glucan is a proven beneficial and valuable molecule for human and animal health systems. It can be incorporated as an ingredient in various functional foods and beverages. β-Glucan has been isolated from various biological sources, fungi, mushrooms, algae, plants, and bacteria. The yeast cell wall comprises a suitable target for the extraction and purification of β-glucan. Although there are various extraction techniques, significant differences are observed as the technique used affects the final yield and purity, molecular weight, biological activity, solubility, quality, and other biological and functional properties of the extracted β-glucan. The aim of this review is the evaluation of different extraction methods for the production of β-glucan from yeast biomass. Furthermore, the use of industrial spent yeast waste from breweries and the wine industry for biotechnological β-glucan production and the concept of green wineries and breweries are discussed.
β-葡聚糖是一种已被证实对人类和动物健康系统有益且有价值的分子。它可以作为一种成分添加到各种功能性食品和饮料中。β-葡聚糖已从多种生物来源中分离出来，包括真菌、蘑菇、藻类、植物和细菌。酵母细胞壁是提取和纯化β-葡聚糖的合适靶点。尽管有多种提取技术，但由于所使用的技术会影响提取的β-葡聚糖的最终产量和纯度、分子量、生物活性、溶解度、质量以及其他生物学和功能特性，因此观察到了显著差异。本综述的目的是评估从酵母生物质中生产β-葡聚糖的不同提取方法。此外，还讨论了将啤酒厂和葡萄酒行业的工业废弃酵母用于生物技术生产β-葡聚糖以及绿色酿酒厂和啤酒厂的概念。
